The Health Camp of New Jersey (HCNJ), in collaboration with Shree Venkateswara Temple (Bridgewater) and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (Somerset), successfully hosted a Community Health Fair on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at Balaji Temple in Bridgewater, NJ. The event saw an enthusiastic turnout, serving over 150 individuals with accessible healthcare services, health education, and wellness resources.
The fair offered free health screenings, personalized consultations, and educational sessions, demonstrating a strong collective commitment to improving community health. The success of the event was made possible by the incredible dedication of volunteers from HCNJ, SSAI, SAMHIN, RWJ-Somerset, temple management and volunteers, the NJ Artists Lions Club, and many other community organizations. The Faith Home Health Care was provided education on home health, skilled nursing, rehab and other critical services available in New Jersey. The LabCorp, Ritesh Shah Charitable Pharmacy and ANS have continued to support the health fairs in 2025.
The event also welcomed Hillsborough Mayor John Ciccarelli and Deputy Mayor Catherine Payne, who visited the fair to show their support. Both officials congratulated the temple management and Health Camp of New Jersey for their continued commitment to community health awareness for over 25 years, applauding the collaborative efforts to provide vital services to local residents.
